Solivita Softball was a success this Friday as 13 players from WHSS traveled to Solivita to play a double header against a great bunch of guys from Solivita. The first game looked like it was going to be a rout for WHSS. WHSS scored thirteen runs in the first three innings while holding Solivita to zero runs. In the fourth inning, WHSS was held to zero runs and Solivita roared back into the ballgame with 10 runs scored and making this a close ball game. Solivita scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning to take a one run lead. WHSS had the top of their lineup coming up and Tommy Hamilton led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a single up the middle. Eddie Hurn, who was hitting the ball hard all day, followed Tommy's single with a walk-off two run homer and WHSS won the game with a final score of 20 to 19.
In the second game, WHSS's bats were still hot. They started the game with 5 runs in the first inning, four runs in the second inning and scored 23 runs in seven innings. This was to much for the Solivita guys who could only manage to score 11 runs in the second game.
The friendly competition with Solivita started last year and we have continued to have fun with the great folks from Solivita this year. They come to WHSS one month and we travel to Solivita the next month. We are looking forward to doing this next year and for years to come. If anyone is wondering, Solivita has won more games in this friendly competition than WHSS has but we plan on catching up with them in the future.
Players for WHSS were: Steve Hicks, Tommy Hamilton, Eddie Hurn, Dave Doerbaum, Mike Vacarro, Luis Guzman, Tony Quinones, Dave Shirer, Jeff Stier, JD Davis, Al Guzzo, Ron Pepin and Don Witmer. Home runs were hit by Tommy Hamilton, Eddie Hurn, Dave Doerbaum and Luis Guzman (2). Mike Vacarro was injured in the first game but continued to bat in both games. Lets hope Mike gets better soon.
